16-Year-Old Boy Becomes Megaminx European Record Holder After Solving Puzzle In 31.4 Seconds

The Megaminx has 12 faces and 50 moving parts, compared with Rubik's cube which has six sides and 20 movable pieces.

A 16-year-old student named Aidan Grainger from Royal Wootton Bassett Academy became a European record holder for 'speedcubing' the 'Megaminx'.

A Megaminx is a 12-sided puzzle which works similarly to a Rubik's Cube. His skilful finger-twiddling accomplishment places him as the ninth fastest Megaminx player globally, and he aspires to set a new world record in the future, BBC reported. 

Over 200,000 competitive speedcubers took part in the official World Cube Association competition.
